New Arena Design

• Upgraded design for the current battle arena - Uth'Arak

3D Rendered Weapons

• All weapons in Knights of Cathena are now rendered in 3D and are therefore visible on the battlefield and within the formation editor

  
  
  

  

  
  

New Battlefield UI

• Battlefield UI has been reworked to provide you more information about the match and to achieve a more high quality look

  
  
  

  

  
  
• 1. Overall character healthbar (now displayed as a orb)
• 2. Overall ancient power bar that shows the total amount of ancient power left on the battlefield
• 3. 3D character portrait of the selected character
• 4. Attributes are now displayed as numbers rather than bars
• 5. Newly designed traversal bar that is visualizing the current player's turn and a numeric value for the remaining traversal points
• 6. End turn button
• 7. Remaining time for the turn (the bar will be reduced when the turn has only 15 seconds left to make an action)
• 8. Settings button to allow for audio and quality adjustments during gameplay
• 9. Name of a player
• 10. Rank of a player
• 11. Damage estimation on targeted character
• 12. Attack confirm button now displayes the chance to land a hit on the planned attack

Quality Attribute & Golden Items

• New item attribute: Quality
• Attribute view rework with added quality attribute
• Quality is a percentage value from 1% to 100%
• The higher the quality of an item, the better the attributes will be, 100% quality represents a perfect item and will be displayed as golden (see image below)

Item Merge & Item Multi-Merge

• With the new quality attribute, players have to be more cautious of what items they merge, in general the rule is: The better the items you merge the better the result
• The quality of an item can be increased while merging.
• Merge preview UI for a convenient merge process (players can immediately see what item the planned merge will result in)

• As one of the most requested features in the past, Multi-Merge has been added to the game

  
  
  

  

  
  
• As the name implies, Multi-Merge will merge all in the current selected category (including a Multi-Merge button in the top-level inventory where players can merge all items based on the filter they have activated)
• There are two options for multi merging: "Allow Quality Loss" and "Accept Quality Waste".
• Allow Quality Loss: If enabled, the suggested merge pairs will also include matches where the quality of the merge result is lower than the highest input quality
• Accept Quality Waste: If enabled, the suggested merge pairs will als include matches where the input qualities were higher than they needed to be to get best result
• If both are disabled, only the most efficient merge pairs will be suggested

Parallel Actions

• Players no longer need to wait until a character has completed an action until they can move another character, actions are now parallelized and can be given while another action is still playing

Item Rebalancing

• As there were overall major problems with the current item attributes we adjusted everything from ground up and rebalanced the whole game

• Knight: Fits more into the tank role - reduced damage and high defense in comparison to the other characters

• Hunter: Now more of a single target sniper with increased accuracy but easier to kill

• Mage: Multi target damage dealer which inflicts the most damage but with a less flexible attack pattern than the hunter

• Priest: Typical healer role with adjusted attributes to make him a more resourceful on the battlefield

• Drastically nerfed Lifesteal, Selfheal, and Evasion

• Double attack attribute has been removed

• Character damage modifier attributes on equipment has been removed

• Players can now reset their password directly within the game

• Additional social buttons in the profile allow the player to link serveral social logins to one account so players can play and log in to the same account on different devices more easily

Characters can no longer get stuck during animations

Audio slider now work properly
